I attempted to search the 1981 decree regulating immigration matters to Belgium to find the legal consequences of a fraudulent visa application, but I was not successful.
What are the legal penalties for committing consular fraud, such as false testimony, false documentation, false passport, etc., whether it is direct or indirect, when applying for a visa to enter Belgium?
Additionally, how long will the person be banned from entering the Schengen zone? I would like to compare this to the English speaking countries (US, UK, etc.), where the ban could range from 10 years to indefinitely.
